another recent national polls we have seen the race getting closer, even though obama's bounce out of the convention is holding, he remains at near 50% in all our polls. what do you make of the situation now, chuck, going into tomorrow night's really important debate out in denver between thewo candidates? how do you see the election standing now five weeks out? >> well, right now five weeks out if you can have a solid small lead, he has it, okay? he has hit what i think are his ceiling numbers, 49%, 50%, 51% in the state. hard to imagine in any of these battleground states with maybe the exception of ohio and iowa how he gets to, quote, 52% or even 53%. so he's at a ceiling. he's at about topped out. the question is how much coalescing happens around romney? i think you're seeing some of it now, and that's why he's popping among likely voters in particular. there's one other thing the obama folks have to worry about, we see evidence of it in our own polling, and it also explains why there's such a massive difference between registered voters back and forth between obama and romney an

two things probably moved the polls. one was the judgment of voters that frankly the republican television show wasn't up to the democratic television show at the conventions. they liked the democratic show better and liked president obama's remarks better than mr. romney. over the previous week we had tremendous media coverage of romney's 47% figure. that is something that was in the news, got tremendous coverage at the time that quinnipiac was in the field and a lot of other polls were in the field. >> both sides will tell you they don't pay attention to the polls, but sure enough when one side is down, they'll be fast to poo-poo them. >>> we have a new nbc/"wall street journal" poll out tonight with fascinating insights ahead of tomorrow night's debates. >>> up next, i'll talk to philadelphia mayor michael nutter about the breaking news on p.a.'s voter i.d. law being blocked. >>> governor romney is a self-proclaimed red sox fan. why did he make an investment in the yankees? that was me... the day i learned i had to st

and here's one other interesting fact from that poll. the president has a 22-point margin in favor of him when it comes to people who think he cares about america's problems. by comparison, most people do not believe mitt romney cares about them. and a new pew research survey is finding most people are not happy with romney's comment that 47% of people are dependent on the government. 55% of negative voter -- excuse me, of registered voters say they reacted negative to that that comment. that's not so surprising but here's what is. 23% of people reacted positively to it. of those who like that comment more than half were republicans but quite a few were independents and about a quarter of them were making more money than the average middle class family. >>> the democratic senatorial campaign committee has a big ad buy underway. starting today they're spending half a million dollars running ads in arizona to promote senate candidate richard carmona. he's up against g.o.p. representative jeff flake a recent poll has the two separated by ju
